May 19: photo of the month
Lots of choice this month with a host of very different photos. This one’s @robertosdeli1, another great stall at Cambridge Market. We were buying Italian cheeses so it was appropriate to be served by an Italian. Stalls like this are what makes living close to Cambridge special and you just hope it’s not all going to…

Apr 19: photo of the month
Lots of choice this month but I’ll stay with Sicily. This is the Temple of Concordia as seen looking down the Valley of Temples near Agrigento. Built by the Greeks in 435 BC, converted into a Christian basilica in the 6th century and the ‘restored’ in 1748. The photo was taken with my Sony alpha…

Mar 19: photo of the month
It’s two photo of the month posts in a row and that’s not good. Photos are fine but there should be more writing. Anyway this was taken at Hermitage Lock (on the road between Willingham and Earith) with my Sony Xperia XZ1, 1/1000th sec at f2.0. I confess to a little more post processing than…

Feb 19: photo of the month
Another good photo month but I like this one because it was formed out of necessity. We were off to the cinema and with no photos taken so far in the day I needed one. We were walking across Parker’s Piece and I just snapped this. It’s clearly been cropped but that’s why I think…

Jan 19: photo of the month
It wasn’t a bad month for photos but this one came in on the last day and I really like it. I was heading into Cambridge for an 0800 breakfast before an early meeting at the County Council and this shot was just there. It is of course a Cambridge cliche but I reckon it’s…

Dec 18: photo of the month
Plenty of choice again this month with a week in Oman at the beginning and Xmas at the end. This photo is from our trip to Oman and it’s our tour group (more of a mini-group) at Mughsail east of Salalah in the south west of the country. It’s a special photo because I ‘took’…

Nov 18: photo of the month
Lots of choice during the month but this is both evocative and emotional. Previous night I attended an old school reunion and on Saturday morning Juni and I headed off into Mid Wales specifically Dyffryn Ceiriog. Our first contact with typical scenery (green fields, sheep, hills) was when we entered Llandegla en route for Bala.…

Oct 18: photo of the month
October is nothing if you don’t get a few rainy days and so it was on Sunday the 14th so lots of cliche photo opportunities. I like this one because it’s just about right, subject in focus and nicely standing out from the background, although maybe I should crop in a little from the left.…

Sep 18: photo of the month
Lot’s of competition for September’s photo because I was in India for nine days and have multiple candidates but I chose this one, of a bicycle rickshaw driver waiting for a fare, despite its flaws viz the tassles and the man’s hand. One of my good friends suggested that I should have framed the shot…

Aug 18: photo of the month
I’ve got a little catch-up to do before I have to choose and publish September’s photo so here’s a shot of the brook by Harding Way after the end of the summer drought. Lots of water and greenery and I especially like the hints of purple. The photo was taken using my Sony alpha 77…
